Socializing with children?
I would like to begin socializing my dog with children but im really nervous. My dog was abused as a pup and has shown extreme fear with small children... But my bf has a kid and we were thinking about getting a house together. I love my pooch and dont want to lose him, but I dnt want to hinder my relationship either. Hes still obviously uncomfortable around some new ppl, yet has gone leaps and bounds socializing with adults... But I dont want to put any kids at risk of getting bit. I just couldn't live with him if something went wrong. :(

Purchase a muzzle to be safe. Have the child sit on the sofa and not look at the dog or touch him and let the dog go to the child, have the child not touch him and not talk to him it may be hard but the dog will learn slowly, if you let the child go straight for him patting him and on the floor with him the dog will get worse not better :)
